And yet … (Maundy Thursday 2017) The altar stripped bare each piece carefully and thoughtfully removed layers peeled away harsh, barren surfaces and yet … The light dimmed The sanctuary in near darkness and yet … I can…

It's Maundy Thursday and I'm exactly where I want to be in this moment with the faith community where I found my home.

Sending healing energy your way 🕯️🫂💜

Good morning, beloved.

Live as though people are worth loving.

Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

If our Christianity causes the abused to be ignored, the stranger to be unwelcome, kids to go hungry, the sick to go without healthcare, and our planet to be disregarded all while billionaires get richer, we've profoundly misunderstood the most basic elements of Jesus' teachings.

For when it is dark This morning when you wake May there be sunshine outside your window To remind you that the light will always return But if the sun is hidden by clouds And the sky is still gray May it feel like be…

I wrote this poem a few years ago for a friend who was in a dark time personally. I've been thinking about it since the shooting in Tumbler Ridge because I've needed this reminder that there are sparks of light and hope. May it be so for all of us.

Round 2! Still asking for donations-
(CA and Venmo- ladyasterianox)

I need to be near Hartford from Tuesday to Friday, that's three nights. I need a place to stay and food. I also need an Uber Friday morning for my Spravato appointment.

(Gas for my car is covered! ✅)

A short thread.

You don’t have to worship where you’re not wanted.

In a regime led by a death cult, your first and most vital call to resistance is to exist. If you do nothing else, you must live in defiance.

Good morning, beloved.

Know justice. Know peace.

Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

Good morning, beloved.

Our humanity is worth protecting.

In a world that often seeks to starve the soul, make sure to slow down and nourish it.

Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

Hell is not about eternal conscious torment. It is visited upon us and our neighbors daily.

And there is deliverance from these hellscapes.

Today is the day of salvation.

Rest in peace, Renee Good.

Repent and believe.

A perfect example of why @neecygrace.bsky.social and I adore you!

Absolute perfection in a response 🤣

Eighteen of us gathered tonight in our Monday night queer contemplative spirituality group. We come from all over the US and Canada, from many backgrounds. We come as we are; experience God together through music, readings and the words of our friends; and see what happens.

A categorization I didn't know I needed, until I read it!

Sending you love and comfort and strength.

Merry Christmas! Let justice be your inheritance so that peace may be your portion 🙏🏾
